   Poverty in America

Almost 16 million Americans live in “deep or severe poverty.”  This is defined as ½ of the federal poverty line.  For a family of four with two children, this means an annual income of less than $9,903.  The percentage of severely poor Americans grew by 26% from 2000 to 2005.

   Our Clients

LSNV assisted me in obtaining a protective order against additional domestic violence.  LSNV was also successful in securing a court order awarding my custody of my daughter, child and spousal support, and an equitable division of marital property.  I was able to live in a secure and stable home environment free of abuse...Sandra...Fairfax County Resident
